Comedy Night

Quip Shed Comedy is back in Wendover and kicking off 2026 on Thursday 26th March with one of the best line-ups yet! The return of MC Jamie Allerton, circuit legend Mark Cram, online sensation Tom Elwes, and headliner TV's Hal Cruttenden! Be quick, as this is sure to sell out!!
 
Mark Cram is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer set and strong MCing chops. For over 10 years Mark Cram has been plying his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he goes.

A bisexual comedian with a unique take on the LGBT community; Mark Cram thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family and being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the Year.

 Having gigged with some big names and having become a regular at some of London’s top comedy clubs, Mark is an act not to be missed.

His show Carpe DM had a sellout run at the Fringe in 2022.
